Discovery journey~: Future Career ~

When I am young, i have many ambitions. I want to be doctor, teacher, fire fighter, air stewardess and so on. However, time passes and now i have make my mind that i would like to be an aircraft engineer. To be a engineer, i have chosen physics subject as the main subject in my SAM study so that i can meet the basic requirement of any university.

Aircraft maintenance engineer is similar to aircraft maintenance technician. There are some requirement for eligibility for a mechanic certificate include the following:

Be 18 or older;
Be able to read, speak, and understand English fluently;

The Professional Aviation Maintenance Association and SAE Institute provide a number of certifications for aircraft mechanics.
Aviation maintenance specialist (AMS) – This certification enables non-FAA certificated technicians and interested non-maintenance aviation personnel to show proficiency in a critical body of knowledge regarding aviation maintenance.
Aviation maintenance engineer (AME) – This certification validates core knowledge for FAA certificated Airframe and Powerplant Mechanics.
The AMT Society presents the Maintenance Skills Competition annually, which recognizes top AMT teams across all aviation including commercial and military.

Aircraft maintenance is the overhaul, repair, inspection or modification of an aircraft or aircraft component.
In Canada, maintenance includes the installation or removal of a component from an aircraft or aircraft sub assembly, but does not include:
